Happy 60th!

My mom turned 60 in June and many months ago my brothers and I started planning a trip to the beach to celebrate.  Two things my mom loves most: the beach and her family.  That made it pretty easy when debating what we should do for this special birthday.  

Our last family beach trip all together was in 1999!  How crazy is that?!  We have had many family trips to other places, but for whatever reason someone is always missing at the beach.  So,  along with celebrating Mom, the main point of this trip was for everyone to be there.  And sadly, Matt's deployment (that was supposed to end in May) was extended until August.  Matt and Natalie were missed greatly, but we will just have to go back again soon!

Sitting still was hard enough and looking at the camera was just not happening for these munchkins.

My favorite views
This picture makes me laugh at Annie.  She looks like a little sailor.  

For mom's birthday dinner night, we did a low country boil.

Beautiful Mom.
We put together 60 reasons we love mom and our favorite memories together.  After dinner we took turns reading the list and reminiscing all the memories. 
Such a fun night!
One more post to come with a few more beach pictures...
